I agree that the freeway is safer than backroads as everyone is going in the same direction. There are issues with people changing lanes and merging though being 2 wheels if you are a defensive driver its better than the backroads.
Though here in CA the main highway is interstate 80 and where I live its got to be the worst freeway in the country for comfort. Its so broken up and patched its a sad state. Am wondering what the fuel tax goes to pay!.
